ISTR that it won't save very much code though ... the Linux USB stack structures all its enumeration logic around hubs. > Allow embedded developers the capabilities of the "otg_whitelist.h" - a > product whitelist, so USB peripherals not listed there will be rejected > during enumeration.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but USB-IF recently put out some specs about "embedded hosts" which basically boil down to saying you can adopt the same functionality restrictions that used to be OTG-only. Which is why now there are embedded developers who'd like this option. :) - Dave > > --- > > drivers/usb/core/Kconfig | 7 ++++--- > 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) > > > Index: linux-2.6.x/drivers/usb/core/Kconfig > =================================================================== > --- linux-2.6.x/drivers/usb/core/Kconfig (revision 4074) > +++ linux-2.6.x/drivers/usb/core/Kconfig (working copy) > @@ -95,8 +95,9 @@ > > config USB_OTG_WHITELIST > bool "Rely on OTG Targeted Peripherals List" > - depends on USB_OTG > - default y > + depends on USB_OTG || EMBEDDED > + default y if USB_OTG > + default n if EMBEDDED > help > If you say Y here, the "otg_whitelist.h" file will be used as a > product whitelist, so USB peripherals not listed there will be > @@ -111,7 +112,7 @@ > > config USB_OTG_BLACKLIST_HUB > bool "Disable external hubs" > - depends on USB_OTG > + depends on USB_OTG || EMBEDDED > help > If you say Y here, then Linux will refuse to enumerate > external hubs.
